About this experience
High in the mountains above Antalya lies ancient Termessos, founded in the 6th century BC. I will leisurely guide you through its most interesting corners and tell you who created the city, how it developed and thrived, how people lived here, and under what circumstances it was destroyed.
What to expect
Traces of the past
You will see preserved streets from ancient times with columns, baths, gymnasium, marketplace, water cisterns, Lycian rock tombs, and a huge amphitheater at the very top of the mountain. I will tell you what ensured the city's safety for a long time, how it managed to mint its own coins, what crafts were developed here, and what methods the inhabitants used to obtain and store water.
Silence and intriguing stories
The main charm of Termessos is its seclusion. Buses with tourists do not come here, and ancient stones and pine trees guard the centuries-old silence. You will walk through these amazing places in an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. And I will make sure that you not only enjoy the magnificent landscapes but also immerse yourself in the rich history of this land. You will learn about the mythical hero Bellerophon and Alexander the Great, hear about the reasons and versions of the city's destruction.
